A church reported to be a parish under the Celestial Church of Christ (CCC) has sparked controversy after publicly seeking financial assistance from Nigerian music star Davido. The appeal comes just days after the singer gave N15 million to a fan on social media.
Church Seeks Roofing Funds
In a video shared via the X handle cccworldwide1, the church claimed the money was needed to complete the roofing of its worship centre. The video showed worshippers in white robes conducting service under makeshift tents and canopies while heavy rain fell.
“Hi David, @davido we humbly seek your financial support to cover our church. CCC IGI OLUWAGBIN PARISH. Account No: 1026784448. Bank: UBA. Every seed counts. Kindly RETWEET,” the caption read.
Davido’s N15 Million Giveaway
The church’s appeal to Davido comes shortly after the Unavailable crooner gave N15 million to a fan on X, formerly Twitter. The fan, who goes by the handle @abazwhyllzz, had earlier posted a heartfelt message declaring his devotion to Davido, stressing that his love for the artist was beyond any financial measure.
The unexpected gesture quickly set social media buzzing, with fans praising the singer’s generosity and celebrating the influencer’s good fortune.
Reactions Trail Church’s Appeal
The appeal has sparked a heated debate on X. While some supporters appealed to Davido to help, critics argue that the public approach was embarrassing to the church, questioning why internal contributions weren’t prioritised instead.
iCapitalHUB commented: “@davido please support the project of the lord.”
Georg24570Ebony commented: “Sometimes I wonder if God exist, Did prayer really work? Or Una prayer no answer for the church.”
Trendblizz commented: “Do you know how embarrassing it is for you to post this? By your logic, the God you serve cannot provide. Even if God will use humans, it won't be on this way. Stop embarrassing the Celestial church.”
Olusegun9587871 reacted: “Davido sing worldly song and you people still won collect his money abi weldone.”
TolulopeAbeey said: “This is distasteful! Whoever the handler or media team of this handle are not so thoughtful! You don’t go about development fund raising this way, there are processes to this thing. This is uncharitable!”
fogtomind wrote: “What happened to what God cannot do does not exist can't God save his own house?? U de call on Davido to do what what happened to all the offerings tithe and all that did it all go to God well Davido knows your God does not exist so expect nothing.”
Davido’s Previous Controversies

Davido also clashed with northern praise singer Dauda Kahutu, who criticised the singer's actions at the same concert over the abducted schoolchildren in Oyo state, accusing him of politicising insecurity.
